Throttle Through Time: A History of Motorcycles

Overview

From Gottlieb Daimler's wooden-framed Reitwagen to hydrogen-ready prototypes rolling off today's test benches, the motorcycle has out-maneuvered war, recession, emissions law, and even a global pandemic to remain the world's most agile form of powered transport. Throttle Through Time tells that story in thirty sweeping, narrative-rich chapters-each built from factory records, race results, and patent filings rather than folklore. You'll ride pillion on Triumphs that carried dispatches across the Somme, throttle the beach-race broomsticks that broke 170 mph during the Great Depression, and tune the electronic guardians that now sift traction 200 times per second. Along the way the book spotlights the dreamers and disruptors who kept two wheels turning: the dispatch rider turned café-racer icon, the NASA engineer who founded Zero Motorcycles in a garage, the software teams whose over-the-air updates matter as much as piston rings. Whether you're a workshop veteran, a MotoGP addict, or a newcomer deciding between kilowatts and cubic centimetres, this rigorously factual chronicle reveals how 140 years of resilience and reinvention position the motorcycle to meet the environmental, economic, and social challenges already rumbling over tomorrow's horizon.
